Just follow the guitar tab, listen to the CD to hear how the chops should sound, then play along using the separate backing tracks. The melody and lyrics are also included in Hard Rock Guitar Play-Along if you want to sing. Includes 8 songs. 72 pages.

I got this book because my guitar teacher recommended that I should get it if I wanted to learn a few more metal songs. The first great feature about this is that it remains very accurate to the original versions of the song(they don't take the easy way and cut the songs like some books do)from the chorus to the solos. Aside from some changes (like Sweet Child o Mine), you're friends won't know the difference. Also, it most of the songs are great classic metal songs ranging from Black Sabbath to Guns N' Roses. Finally, the C.D is awesome, because it does give you a clue as to how fast/slow you should play (and the other instruments don't drown the guitar out). My only complaint is that I wish they would've gotten a better Van Halen song (such as "Panama" or "Hot for the Teacher") instead of "You Really Got Me". Aside from that...great job Hal :)
